Dynamic Heat Transport
The heat transport implied from radiation is
transported by several different mechanisms in
the atmosphere and ocean

Realized2.8 PW at 32o
Possible6.2 PW at 26o

But, Dynamically the heat transport should be
controlled by the temperature gradient

Temperature Gradient in the model is close to
real Earths

Farrell cell picks up heat transport to meet
radiative constraints Is this coincidental?
